The Cuban rice market has now been made available to Guyana after a series of negotiations over the past months, the Department of Public Information (DPI) says. As a result, the first shipment of rice to Cuba is expected to be exported during the latter part of September.
General Manager of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), Allison Peters told DPI that this is just one of the new export markets which adds to the list of Guyana’s growing export markets.
“There is also a shipment off to Cuba and we are going to start that off in the third week of September.” Peters explained. She added that, “We have started sending paddy to Panama for this year; we have started in … early July.”
